The 9 Best Baby Walkers According To Glowing Amazon Reviews

The day your baby takes those precious first steps is a memorable one: it's a sign that independence is right around the corner. To help encourage little ones to take a chance and get up on their feet (especially after they fall), a highly-rated baby walker is an important product you won't regret adding to your shopping list. But, with so many to choose from, it helps to know more about the features that make each walker unique so you can make the best purchase for your child.

There are two main types of walkers: sit-to-stand walkers that babies and toddlers push in front of them and walkers with attached seats that can double as feeding chairs. First and foremost, walkers should be built with safety features in mind. Finding one that is free of BPA, phthalate, and other chemicals is key because children at this age are intensely curious and attempt to chew on everything in sight. And since it takes time for babies to get the hang of walking, choosing a walker that can easily be adjusted to accommodate your growing child will save you money in the long run.

Finally, most walkers on the market today boast some sort of play area that can keep children occupied. Some walkers are bursting with musical features and interactive games, while others are more modest and emphasize walking over playing — it's really up to you to choose the one that suits your family.
